“From poignant protest songs to fluffy Top 40 hits, music has always defined our culture,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “With such a powerful influence on all aspects of society, the messages and themes portrayed by musicians have long been considered dangerous to some. This film looks at how the censorship of music has shaped not only how we view art and how it’s made but who we are as consumers and free-thinkers. Freedom of expression is a human right that is recognized by the United Nations and is one of the most important pillars of a democratic community. But what if that expression doesn’t line up with the general public’s personal ideologies?”
